If search>datastore was true, I would definitely do that, search is more powerful However, it's unclear what are search's limits, first of all there is the 250gb index limit, even if that was elevated it's unclear whether it can perform as good as datastore There is also the cost issue, even if it performed as good as datastore, it could result in a huge increase in costs
